This model is the 60'' version of the 50'' TV that we tested in our labs, the LG 50PK790.
Everything we said in the original article holds true--the only thing that's different is the size!
The only exception is that some manufacturers fit different sized televisions with panels from different sources. In that case, our comments are only valid for the panel that we originally tested. Contrast, black levels, colour handling and ghosting are all subject to change from one panel to another.
Manufacturers who do fit the same panel in all of the TVs in a range can expect the same results across the whole range. The only factor which could be prone to slight variation is the brightness, producing slightly different contrast. According to our own tests, and assurances from manufacturers, the results of one TV can accurately be applied to others in the range.
Pluses
-
Great contrast ratio (2800:1) with deep blacks (0.06 cd/m²)
-
Great picture quality
-
Very wide viewing angles
-
Good media player
Minuses
-
Glossy screen susceptible to reflections
-
Mediocre remote doesn't have backlighting
-
Slightly high energy consumption: 385 W
-
Not very bright in light areas: 170 cd/m² maximum
-
Not recommended for use with a PC or games console
The LG PK790 is the ideal TV for anybody who wants a big Home Cinema TV for a small price. But because it's so susceptible to screen burn, we don't recommend you use it with either a PC or a games console.
